Suzanne’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Oh nice Apoorv - you saved the day again! Merriam-Webster definition:
materials (such as paper, pens, and ink) for writing or typing

So yes Janeylou, your pencil and pen would work. I'm sorry I was confused. I had a very narrow mental definition, and the first time I googled, it didn't help.

There isn't - but here is what team Ti used:
. Given that - I think my paper folded into a paper-airplane might work. Especially since it was a letter that the naughty kid folded (you can tell from the book description).

Definition: writing paper, especially with matching envelopes.

I'm going to see if anyone has asked about it in captains chat.

I think it needs the actual paper. Does it have that too?

Here are the only books I found that might possibly fit stationery. I can read any of them, but the first is probably the only one I could read today, and it's a piece of paper that was a letter folded into a paper airplane so ??? not sure if that (or any of them) would work. I'd love your opinions. And if someone else has a stationery book, feel free to take over!



Do you think any of these would work for stationery?

New Spin! Discworld Tasks:
Read a book featuring a witch or wizard
Read a book with MPG Crime
Read a book with the letters MOIST in the title
Read a book featuring DEATH or the Grim Reaper or equivalent

I just got onto the computer and will post those muses and get another roll. It looks like we are super close on the other two as well! I think someone had a post-colonial book they could read sometime soon? I'll look to see if I have stationery on the cover - lol that's an unusual prompt :)

Being aware of the longer books we need will help for sure. I think what I will do: today I'll finish the two books I have marked for wheel I will focus on the longer books, which will go well with my upcoming family reunion and camping trip :)

Movie alert! If you have the opportunity to see "The So..."

Thanks Nanci - I went to that a couple of weeks ago. Hard to watch, but so good.

Thanks Lisa!

I'd consider that a rebellion.

Thanks Leslie - it will for sure fit something. Have fun!

That's good input - thanks! Jen, I'd say for the Unmarked Witch - use it for either astronomy wheel or the pages tower (and the TT mini) - your choice. But for the really long one, lets keep it off of wheel so we can use it for the pages tower. It looks black, which we have a lot of for rainbow, but hopefully there is a letter that will work for Team Towers.

Ok Jen - so for your books - it could go either way! They certainly work for wheel. We're on target with the 400-500 page books, so it seems like we could use that one for sure in wheel. We are ALMOST on target with the 600+ page books. So what do you all think about using Jen's long book to finish a Wheel and get a new one vs. filling up the tower pages? If only I could see the future!

Books of the Month

Starts 2 July Fantastic job on questions Kerri!!

Starts 16 July - remember to go answer questions :)

Mini-Challenges
Rainbow Towers: Keep marking any of your books that have colored covers.

Wheel: Nice Teamwork! This is a fun mini - and certainly a challenge.

Page points: We are behind or right on with our long-page books (I'm sure that's because we have focused on wheel, and can't count the pages for the tower - they still count for page points!) I know Leslie is reading some long books on her trip, and when I travel the next two weeks I'll be reading some as well.

However - I hadn't realized both of those are so long! Hmm...let me check our page counts before we decide if we should use them for wheel.

Beautiful Nightmares has romance as a MPG so it could work for the love muse

The Unmarked Witch isn’t astrology but it’s witchy a..."

Both of those would work fine! I think we could also move one in to cover one of the unfinished muse tasks and move those claimed ones down. I'll take a look.

It's muses again. I will check with you all next time we spin, because we COULD get a respin on that one. But it's a fairly easy one :)

Great - I'm going to update and check in that wheel :)

Thanks Keli - good plans!
